Time to brace ourselves soon

[DC Cowboy]

As OTAs wrap up and that final stretch of waiting until training camp arrives, I feel certain parts of my being puckering up and holding its breath.

These are the dark days of the NFL nigh upon us. When chicanery and tomfoolery preside over common sense, and the police blotters light up like a casino. If we could just eliminate mid-June and early July from the calendar, half of the NFL suspensions would never be.

It's an unfortunate and growing tradition. Droves of NFL players jump on planes headed for Vegas, or go into super heavy party mode before they set off for duty in late July. It's seems to ramp up every year, each guy trying to out-do the other, or worse yet, combining multiple parties for week-long binges into youthful melee. Invariably, bad decisions are made, and Goodell's desk starts to get messy.

Hopefully, none of our boys will fall for any of the forbidden fruit. This team simply can't afford stupidity right now.

Then, come training camp, we get to hold our breath again. That's when the injuries start to mount.

(Sigh) I gotta find a different hobby.

Wait, I thought we were giving Garrett tons of credit for building a team of RKGs and building a strong team culture? It's one of his greatest strengths and biggest reasons we need to keep him around.

We should have nothing to worry about then.

Still this week's mini-camp to go.

Be very quiet, I'm hunting Rabbitt

I feel like this is one of those things that sounds like it may be true, but really isn't. Kind of like the idea that is thrown around every year that Jerry likes to make a big splash and do something to take the spotlight during Superbowl week. I would be interested in seeing numbers on when most infractions take place. Somehow, I suspect the real dangerous time is the several month long period immediately following the end of the season. With the lead up to camp, players know they have to be in a certain amount of shape and need to keep up a fairly regular workout regiment. That's not as true immediately following the season.
